At a time when the Navi Mumbai airport project is still struggling to get clearances, GMR Infrastructure, one of the interested parties, has written letters to the civil aviation ministry, chief minister of state, and planning authority – City and Industrial Development Corporation (Cidco), which according to sources, pointed out loopholes in the project.
Among interested parties, GMR Infrastructure, along with Tata Realty and Hiranandani Infrastructure, stepped back from bidding for the airport. GMR went to the extent of writing a letter to the civil aviation minister on December 9, stating five reasons why the company withdrew from the project.
The letter stated that apart from stage two forest clearance from the ministry of environment and forests (MoEF), there were still project affected people (PAPs) staying on airport land who were yet to be relocated. It said that Cidco was yet to acquire the entire land from PAPs. According to senior officials, out of the 2,265 hectares required as core airport area, 500 hectare was still to be acquired by the planning authority.
